KENDAL -- The Kendal Eagles will look to use home field to full advantage as they attempt to capture a provincial championship Labour Day weekend.

The Clarington Cubs and nine other teams from across Ontario will descend upon Kendal for the Ontario Baseball Association Senior A championships from Friday to Sunday with games also being held in Port Hope and Bowmanville.

The tournament begins on Friday at 3 p.m., with the Cubs meeting Niagara Falls. After receiving the first-round bye, the Eagles will play their first game on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. The championship game is scheduled to be played at 2 p.m. on Sunday.

There will be a barbecue running all weekend serving breakfast sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs and sausages, and a beer tent.

Kendal finished off its regular season on Wednesday in Peterborough, defeating the Senior Tigers by a score of 9-3. The offence was led by the two hits each from Bryan Landry, Darryl Stacey and Nick Stone.

The Eagles finished the regular season with a 20-3-3 record and currently sit in first place in league play. As a result the Eagles are hosting the first round of the league playoffs in Kendal at noon Sunday, Sept. 7.
